MTA Donates to Montclair Village Plaza

A couple of years ago, MTA made a donation in support of the design and construction of the new Montclair Village Plaza on Antioch Court between Mountain Boulevard and Antioch Street, less than ½ mile south of our home courts (Mountain @ Colton). Benefits to the community include:

• Improve safety on roadways for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers

• Support small businesses and promote foot traffic and commerce

• Live music, community gatherings, and cultural events

Construction has been completed, and MTA’s commemorative brick has been installed in the new brick patio right outside Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt on the corner of Mountain Blvd and Antioch Court. We hope you’ll take a look the next time you’re in the area!

February 2023

• The board started planning of Q1 events - watch the Upcoming Events page for Icebreaker, Mixed Doubles, and perhaps an event dedicated to beginning players with possible professional coaching!

• Approval of last months minutes were deferred. The minutes will be edited and reviewed at the next meeting

• There was a discussion regarding handling the offer of a free used net. Hans will obtain and arrange for it to be installed

• Significant progress has been made in the renewal of our contract with the City of Oakland

• A work party is planned for Feb 18th to do repair wind screens, cut bushes and install new nets

• Bruce will host an event March 18 or19th

• Susan is working on an April event hopefully with a tennis coach

• The parking lot payments are up to date

MTA Board of Director meetings are held at 7:00 pm on the first Wednesday of at least every other month (at least for now, meetings are held via online video), with special meetings held on an as-needed basis as required by the organization's needs. Non-board members are welcome to attend; please email info@montclairtennis.org for details and an invite.

Every December, MTA holds an annual General Membership Meeting, where we recap the outgoing year, look forward to the next year, and accept nominations for and then vote in the next year's MTA Board of Directors.
